Explanation

[Arrays]

What is the outcome of the following code snippet?

public class Test
{
    public static void main()
    {
        char[][] matrix = {{'a','b','c'},{'p','q','r'},{'x','y','z'}};
        for(int i=0; i<3; i++)
        System.out.print(matrix[i][1] + " ");
    }
}

(a) a b c

(b) a p x

(d) b q y

Correct Answer: (d) b q y

Explanation:

The program uses a two-dimensional character array named matrix.

char[][] matrix = { {'a','b','c'}, {'p','q','r'}, {'x','y','z'} };

Array Structure:

Row Index	Column 0	Column 1	Column 2
0	a	b	c
1	p	q	r
2	x	y	z

Understanding the Loop:

for(int i=0; i<3; i++) System.out.print(matrix[i][1] + " ");

The loop runs from:

i = 0
i = 1
i = 2

In every iteration, the program prints:

matrix[i][1]

Here:

i → row number
1 → second column (because indexing starts from 0)

Step-by-Step Execution:

i Value	matrix[i][1]	Output
0	matrix[0][1]	b
1	matrix[1][1]	q
2	matrix[2][1]	y

Final Output:

b q y

Conclusion:

Therefore, the correct answer is: (d) b q y
